You

strut Manufactured for
Nitro-Prop
Strut
and Spring (NP1400-10-P) this unit is totally self-contained,
hermetically-sealed, a hydro pneumatic linear actuator containing pressurized
nitrogen gas, which provides the output force.
The
units come complete with threaded removable 10mm nylon ball sockets both on the
rod and tube ends (if you are in need of mounting brackets see our selection
listed in the store)
Note:
for best results
replace both struts (when 2 struts are used) …
ALWAYS
install with rod down (your
struts will last much longer … here’s the reason all struts contain a bit of
oil / that is what causes the damping effect towards the end of the stroke …
this oil also lubricates the piston, installing the rod down keeps the oil atop
the piston!)
If you are
looking for a replacement, upgrade or thinking of adding a gas spring to
anything you would like assisted power in opening – closing or to be held open
hands free this may be for you. Gas springs offer a unique alternative to
conventional mechanical, coil spring or counterbalancing devices. The spring rate
for a gas cylinder is far less than for any type of mechanical spring. The
advantages of these springs involve the combination of a relatively flat force
curve, versatility of controlled forces, extension speed, damping at the end of
the stroke along with a very compact design. Each gas spring contains a
specific amount of oil, which lubricates the seal, piston and piston rod, as
well as acting as a damping medium. The oil within the cylinder, when it is
compressed or extended, moves from one side of the piston head to the other,
providing a damping effect.
Replacement TIP:
There are many brands
of gas springs / shocks / struts manufactured today with just about as many
names Nitrogen gas, gas, struts, springs, shocks, dampers etc. , some have a
part number that is as equally confusing to understand with out a reference
guide! If you are looking to add or replace any gas shocks (they all get weak,
worn, bent or broken and need to be replaced at some time) it is easier than
you think, here are the basics
1.
Just
measure the extended length of your shock (from the center of the socket to the
center of the socket) that’s the length (that was easy!)
2.
If you do
not know the force pressure, and it is not listed on the shock (most times it
is encoded in the part number on the shock) you can always do a simple test, IE
camper topper lid … use a scale to measure the force needed to hold the door open!
a.
Be sure to take the old
struts off!
b.
PLACE
the scale at the point the strut
connects to the door / lid (at the bracket)
c.
IF 2 struts are used
divide the weight in half.
That
will get you really close
3.
Shocks
can come in the same length and force pressure but different in physical size
(rod diameter / tube diameter- 6×15 / 8×18 / 10×22 / 14×28 MM etc) I think of
the physical size in terms of ratings … standard duty (6x15mm) … heavy duty
(8×18) … extra heavy duty (10×22), and when nothing else will do use the maxi
14x22MM
4.
Mounting
brackets / studs can be permanent or replaceable the most common are the ball
and socket style (10mm or 13MM) then the ring / eye style. Many shocks come
with threaded ends to allow for interchangeable configurations. If you have the
option I like to use the ball and socket when ever adding a shock as it is much
more flexible then the ring / eye style.
Removal TIP
:
it is very easy to replace most gas springs / shocks/
struts, the most common connection used is the nylon “ball joint socket” to
remove your old unit simply insert a “flat” blade screwdriver under the spring
clip (you do not have to remove the clip) using the slot provided in the back
of the socket, push the screwdriver down just a bit this causes the spring clip
to open and it will release the ball end. The new unit now just “pushes” on and
snaps in place, that’s it you’re done!
